If you ever read or watch any sort of satire (with, maybe, the exclusion of the brilliant Parker And Stone movie "Orgazmo", which has enough smartness to be different) about the concept of pornography, it seems that whoever writes jokes likes to lie on stereotypes and clichées that are old and have nothing to do with the modern world of smut.
Some might think that it has to do with the fact that said writers do not watch porn, but i beg to differ. Pretty much everyone encounters porn sometimes. I think the reason for that has to do with the fact that modern porn has no humour. Or at least not the silly, benign type of self aware silliness that old porn had.
Theres no more Pizza Delivery Guys with extra sausage, well natured double entendres, funky music, strange locations. Modern Pornography is way more sterile, less benevolent (i am aware it sounds weird, but if you ever read any history of the golden age of the porn industry, youll get what i mean), done cheaply, quickly and with an audience that has a whole different concept of sexuality in their head...
1) Parodies
They still exist. Actually they always seem to be on the top of the market. But where, once, the parody was limited to a funny title and a couple of winky refrences that didnt get in the way of the action, now things are way, way sicker. You'll meet sit come parodies, where characters that you would have never wanted to see fucking, are doin it. You'll have celebrity parodies, so many of those, with clones of the president doin horribly unfunny jokes. And, the worst, you'll see take on cartoons. People dressed as The Simpsons or The Smurfs.
Where the old school used parody as a funny jab, and an excuse to attract viewers, now it seems to be focused on people who actually get off at the idea of seeing a real life nude Marge Simpson. Like "Barely Legal" porn, masking pedophilia, it's a weird red flag
2)Dirty Talk Is Scary
There was a time where, believe it or not, male teenagers could learn new ideas for sex from watching pornos. Dirty Talk, Rough Sex, Tricks. Good stuff. Good pornography showed actual interest from the performers. Some times they were actually into it, the director happened to want good scenes and the reactions were genuine. You heard good Dirty Talk that could work in reality. Now.... Since none of the performers are really into what they do, they're drugged up to their spine and are asked to be weird and over the top, the talk in a prono video is disturbing and wrong. It's either super descriptive (with the ladies reciting ina monotone what its happening onscreen), agrressive in a non hot way (i am pretty sure theres a pretty succesful series out there that is based on brutal verbal humiliation). The orgasms are retarded even if you know they're fake
3)Lesbian Pornography Got Worse
It was already ridiculous back then, with the long fingernails and the silly setups. But now its even worse. Only way to actually see good sex, whether its between women or not, is following authors that focus on an actual lessbian audience or only use lkesbian performers. Like Viv Thomas, for example, or the Crash Pad Series.
4) Actualy Misogyny and Psychosis got in the game
Feminists always said that pornography is misogynist and they were right. Still, classic porn had a light, non violent approach to sexuality. It was about people fucking.
Moder pornography is focused on the represantation of hatred towards women. Fake Rape Scenes, Extreme roughness (always with a violent overtone), humiliation. The women are actual objects, derided, abused and insulted. The average joe to which all this is pretended to be addressed is a closeted monster that sets his abuse free by watching it on a screen.
